Do I need a key tag ID to configure the myAudi app? Didn't get one with my used car purchase, trying to decide if it is really worth $80 to replace it. Are there features of the app other than lock/unlock that are reliable? Will the app allow me to find my car in a parking (or underground) garage? Not sure what else works in the app with no Connect subscription.

Regards,

Lock/unlock and stolen vehicle locator. That’s all folks.

There is more than that in the app

My app for 2019 A6 allows me to do the following without any subscriptions

a. locate the vehicle after parked (not while driving or ignition on) - click on map icon on bottom of main screen
b. Stolen car locator - click on functions to get there
b. see range on fuel in miles - main screen
c. % of fuel left - main screen, left box (can swipe right)
d. If oil level is ok or not (doesn't show level like early on versions, just ok or not)
f. Doors/windows/sunroof open/ lights off / hood and tailgate/trunk status - main screen right box, swipe left on fuel level box to get to "vehicle notifications" on the outline image screen, click on the menu bars in upper right to see list of each
g. lock/unlock car - click on functions to get there
h. faults: including low tire pressure warning, child lock failure, tail light failure, which I have seen pop up, not sure what other faults it will report - main screen, "warnings and information"
i. open recalls, and some open service campaigns that Audi considered critical - main screen, not there until it pops up in new box under the "warnings and information" box
j. Mileage of car - home screen
k. list of all options in car, and features - main screen, scroll down to "equipment and tech data" box
l. when service is due - main screen, scroll down to service topics and tap on box
m. owners manual - main screen, scroll down to service topics and tap on box, a pain as you need your VIN
n. if you tap on the photo of your car, it shows the stock image of your car in your options in landscape view, inside and out and can save images.

Other items, but less reliable (able to schedule service, marketplace, etc)

It is not always easy to find all this, but they are in the app, so I tried to provide hints above how to get there.

@need4spd Thanks for the detailed info. That sounds like a pretty complete list, so at least that will help me decide. I appreciate it.

yet amazingly remote start is a no.

@tellch00 Yeah, I had read enough to know not to expect this one. The dealers do all repeat the bogus reason that this isn't there. I had to tell them to stop, cause repeating that just sounded so stupid. This is not a German spec car, it is a US car. It does not matter what they can't do in Germany.

Yep, shouldn't matter. My X5 had it, not sure about MB but wouldn't be shocked if it did.
